11162008: Tie The Knot with A Tungsten Carbide Wedding Band

Melding a modern-day metal into a timeless symbol of an everlasting love, tungsten carbide wedding bands form a perfect union of streamlined design and individualistic elegance for contemporary couples looking outside the box for “I do” ideas.

Offering an array of affordable bands for the budget-conscious bride and groom, prices for tungsten carbide rings offered by Los Angeles-based jewelry manufacturer Titanium Kay start as low as $54.99 for such styles as the Classical men’s plain dome band, a gunmetal tone polished to a glossy sheen; the Icarus– a band buffed to a matte finish in the center with a high gloss edging, and the Piattoe, a bevelled band complemented with a high shine finish. Even Titanium Kay’s most elaborate expression of Tungsten Carbide devotion– the Filoe 8mm wedding band adorned with a 14k gold inlay, is easy on the wallet at $185.

For a ring as unique as your union, black tungsten bands, while striking in its pure state, can offer a dramatic background for laser engraved Celtic symbols and abstract designs. Grooves or a coin edge (as seen in the photo to the left) are other alternatives to an unadorned band.

Also offering unisex bands, Titanium Kay’s hypoallergenic rings, while worn mainly by men, are also a perfect fit for brides who want to mirror her ring’s style to that of her soul mate. Bands are available in sizes 5 – 13, with sizes up to 16 available for an additional fee.
